May Leave His Claim.

III recent decision the secretary OF

In cancelling the homestead eutry OF

The principle is reiterated that settler

tailor shop in the town of Mitchell. and
was an industrious man of good habits
lie homesteaded the above stated forty
acres for the purpose of making home
ior himself in time, and securing a gar

has been construed by the General land
office. In December, 1884, he applied
to commute the land, and offered his
proof of residence and the payment of

commissioner of the General land Office
rejected his proof and directed him to

collation. on the ground that the resi-.
dence should have been continuous.
The secretary of the Interior, in deci.
ding the case upon the appeal of Wild.
says that Wild showed good faith in all
his movements, and that the commiss-
Toner of the General land office should
have given him the benefit of the evil
dence in this direction. 1t is true that
his residence could not be called con-
tinuous one, as strict Interpretation of
the law might require, but the secretary
was satisfied that strict compliance
with the letter of the law was not con-
plated by congress when it framed
this land legislation. He points again
to the rulings that he has made in sew
eral cases, allowing pre-emptors and
homestead claimants to leave claims for
weeks and even months at time, to
earn livelihood, and then he reverses
the action of the commissioner and
allows Wild to perfect his residence to
as near strict com pliance with the law
az possible, and to submit further proof.
The case will have the effect of restor-
ing confidence among pre-emptors and
of the poorer class, who
have been unable, as the officials of the
General land office should know, to get
u livelihood the first or second year off
the hard sod of the prairies.

A GOOD FIELD FOR CABLE LINES.
What an officer of the Omaha Cable Company
Thinks of Indianapolis.

Mr.. l.. Williams of Omaha, is the guest of
Mr. A F. Potts. at Woodruff Place. Mr..
Williams is vice-presdent of the Omaha Cable
Company, director in several banks. and man
of large enterprise and executive ability. He
was arranging TO come to Indianapolis to secure
a franchise for q cable road at the time Colonel
Dudley appeared, and is now looking over the
ground with a view to determining whether
some connecting lines cannot be laid with profit
a basis of trackage arrangement with the
Dudley company. Mr. Williams was asked what
he thought of Indianapolis as q field for
such an enterprise, and he said: II
surprised that the capitalists of this city
have waited for foreign capital to do
the work. we estimate that population OF 5000
people, contiguous to a cable road, will justify
its construction for two miles, and the profit
comes with the increase of settlement which
follows the line of any rapid transit. | see sew
eral directions which have been selected by Col.
Dudley which cannot fail to be profitable.
Nothing SO benefits city and gives it such
metropolitan air, a cable road. 1t does not
your place of business. and as result the sub
urbs fill up rapidly real estate advances in value
and Improvement of every kind is stimulated.
A cable road is to a city what turnpike is to
county" do you think OF making any invest
ment while you are hereW asked the reporter.
las Colonel Dudley is in the field. say
nc: hing until it is determined what he intends
to do. which, / have no reason to doubt. is to
carry out his pledges. Should it be otherwise,
it will be time enough for me to consider the
cable project"

Music of the Closing Day.

In the morning Mr.. Baasett, of Cleveland,
gave finished exact reading of the Merkel
sonata in Elmnor. Then followed papers and
discussions upon various interesting topics till
IL o'clock. when William II. Sherwood played
programme of American pieces exclusively
First came a powerful and concise tarrentella
four hands by E. S. Mattoon. of Columbus. o.,
played by Sherwood and Nation. 1t created
very strong impression, and loud cries for Mat
toon testified the delight of the audience.
Another composition OF the most beautiful
structure the 'Lorely," by E. S. Perry. of
Boston. OF all the numerous things in this
form this is the best. Its melody stands out
from the murmuring, ripping scales like ro
mantle islands upon the surface of running
river. and the harmonies are appropriate.
Two studies by Sherwood, charmingly
naive and simple, the other terrifcally difficult
study in reiterated notes, finished the pro-
gramme. No praise is too warm for the splendid
pianist who thus lays his great gifts at the feet
of the original minds of the country. In the
afternoon. Mr.. Hillestead, of Chicago, gave a
programme of phenomenal difficulty. The orig
inal studies were particularly striking for their
enormous technical display. Mr. Hillestead has
unlimited strength and bold. lmpetuous man
ner. He has the Scandinavian energy and en-
DURANGO and is one of the remarkable pianists of
the country.
The singing of Miss Bingham formerly of this
city, now of Boston. refined and excellent,
although. owing to a severe cold, she omitted
many Of her numbers.
At the Governors reception in the evening
Miss Henninges. of Cleveland. sang some German
songs. Miss Henninge is one of the very first
vocalists in the country. possessing a warm and
resonant voice Of dramatic timber and a finely
perfected. consistent method. Mr.. Abbercromby,
an English tenor. now located in Chicago. is also
grand robust singer His solo Thursday
evening, an air from Gunods Irene" substi-
tuted on the programme, was magnificent piece
of vocal art. pure, resonant and telling.
Madame Bloomfield -Zeiser, the Sybil of the
piano-forte, played. and her electric tone. her
impassioned manner. her dash and energy reused
enthusiasm. Thus came to conclusion the
most imposing and most largely attended Music
Teachers Na1onal Association which has ever
been known. JOHN S. VAN CLEvE.
